"¿Dónde Está Santa Claus?" (Spanish for Where is Santa Claus?) is a novelty Christmas song. 12-year-old Augie Rios had a hit with the song in 1959 which featured the Mark Jeffrey Orchestra.[1] Written by George Scheck, Rod Parker, and Al Greiner, and copyrighted in 1958, the copyright was renewed and is owned by Ragtime Music. The song was originally released on MGM Records' Metro label. The 45 record single was backed with the song "Ol' Fatso (I Don't Care Who You Are Old Fatso, Get Those Reindeer Off My Roof)."

The song is referenced in Cheech and Chong's holiday hit "Santa Claus and His Old Lady".

It was also covered by actress Charo in 1978 as well as a Spanish-language version by Mexican TV host Chabelo, El Vez from the album Merry Mex-mas and by the rock band Guster in 2003 (on the Maybe This Christmas Too? holiday compilation album).[2]

The song has been included in a 2011 toy called "Animated & Musical Singing Puppy."

The a cappella men's singing group Straight No Chaser covers the song on their Christmas Cheers CD (Atlantic Records, 2009).
